signatures of interested parties to the
agreement
Coke selling at sl.35 is taken as the min
imum and for every advance OF ten centsl
per ton. the wages of all employees shall be,
advanced in equal proportion. This scale
IS lower than one offered by operators at
the conference in Scottdale, August III, but
aside from the rates of wages The provisions
are almost identical. IL is thought that the
scale as adopted az these works will prove
satisfactory throughout the coke region.
